Real estate agents in Connecticut: what buyers ask
Who pays the real estate agent in Connecticut?
Commissions are negotiable and not set by law. Since August 17, 2024, offers of compensation are banned from the MLS and buyers sign a written agreement first.
What must a seller disclose in Connecticut?
A Connecticut seller of a one- to four-unit home must give the buyer a written residential condition report before the buyer signs a binder or contract (Conn. Gen. Stat. 20-327b). If the seller does not, the buyer gets a $500 credit at closing.
